Memory Clinic Two elderly couples were enjoying friendly conversation when one of the men asked the other, "Fred, how was the memory clinic you went to last month?" "Outstanding," Fred replied. "They taught us all the latest psychological techniques: visualization, association, etc. It was great." "That's great! And what was the name of the clinic?" Fred went blank. He thought and thought, but couldn't remember. Then a smile broke across his face and he asked, "What do you call that flower with the long stem and thorns?" "You mean a rose?" "Yes, that's it!" Fred turned to his wife. "Rose, what was the name of that memory clinic?"
Three Sisters There are three elderly sisters living in a house together. The first sister is pouring the water for her bath. She puts one foot in and asks herself if she was getting in or out. She stands there trying to figure it out. The second sister is walking up the stairs. She gets to the middle and can't remember if she was going up or down. The third sister seeing all of this stands next to the cupboard and says, 'I hope I never get as bad as those two. Knock on wood.' ' Who's there?'
